Payments glossary
What is a sandbox environment?
A sandbox is a test environment where developers can build and test payment integrations with test cards and test keys, without moving real money.
Good sandboxes mirror live behaviour, including declines, 3D Secure and webhooks, and keep test data fully separate from live data.
How it works in Allidian
Every Allidian account starts with a free sandbox. Test keys, data and webhooks are completely separate from live, and success in sandbox is never treated as approval to process live payments.
